I want to put a tank on the platform then fill it with water. I want to know if the scale can measure instantaneous weight of the tank?

I have not tried this yet but I believe it should. I am basing my answer on the fact that I have seen the scale show the rapid increase in weight instantaneously as I step on it.

It starts when you step on it. So, maybe. I have not stayed on it for long as your case would suggest.

Yes you can. It will measure weight in grams, ounces, troy ounces and penny wieght in fractions.

It works by measuring the pressure in the tank- the higher the pressure, the fuller it is- and the gauge is calibrated accordingly. It's fairly inaccurate due to changes in temperature, but it gives a ballpark estimate on how much fuel is left. I like mine, although a scale would be more accurate.

No. You just view the LCD screen for the weight kinda like a bathroom scale

It can measure both units: lb and kg. It is very easy to switch between units and the scales remembers the last setting.

Absolutely you can, the platform (without covering the LED screen) has a size of 7.2" by 6" , it is good enough to be placed a container on it. After your put a container such as a dinner plate on the platform, you may touch the TARE key (the right hand side key) to reset the weight to 0, then you are ready to weight anything in the container. The result display will be the actual weight of the things in the container.

no. though you can place a larger object on it and press the Hold button, remove the item and see the weight.

No it doesn't, but it has a tare weight feature where you can place an empty container on the scale and it resets to 0.0. Then as you add ingredients to the container, the scale only reads the weight of the ingredients.

The fill level indicators on the gauge are only calibrated for use with a standard 18-20 lb. tank. It will not work with a 30 lb. tank.

No it does not. As soon as you remove the box or whatever you're weighing the scale resets back to 0.

Yes, When you want to weigh something fragmentary, you can put the container on the scale plate and press the power button to tare. Then put the goods to be weighed in the container after displaying zero weight then you can get the net weight.

The weighing platform is a glass plate and should clean easily. The base is relatively smooth and closed all over except for the switch openings and the opening for the platform pedestal. The switch buttons penetrate the base top and appear to sit on a rubber membrane. I would expect liquid entry in the event of a spill that runs over the edge of the plate. The weighing platform is a glass rectangle elevated perhaps 5mm above the base. Below the glass, the top of the base is a flat surface extending back under the plate perhaps 18mm all around. The glass plate appears to sit on a pedestal projecting thru a rectangular opening in the top of the base. There is a raised "dam" of material perhaps 1.5mm high cast into the base top surrounding the opening. A significant spill might fall on the flat top of the base and run back under the plate to the dam or over it. That would be inaccessible and difficult to clean. My use is all dry (not in the kitchen) so I have not exposed it to any liquid hazard. It is a nice scale but seems vulnerable for typical kitchen use to me. The manual makes no claims re. resistance to liquids. Only caution is "do not immerse".

It probably would but the readings wouldn't be accurate. For example 1/4-1/2 would probably = empty. Also, the added weight would probably damage the gauge. Another option is buying a standard personal weight scale and subtracting the tanks weight when empty. Hope this helps.

yes, the tank starts to float when it is empty. it only moves up about 1 inch but with a good marker, you can mark it on the side so when it pops up, you see the mark.

It should be easy to calibrate (and never assume any measuring device is "factory calibrated"!). Just put an empty container on the scale, press the tare button. Scale should now read 0. Pour a cup of water and the weight should be 8.3 oz.

Though I have not tried that, I am going to guess no. I believe that the total capacity of this scale is 15 lbs, so when you place an object on the scale and then press the button for the tare feature, all the scale has done is reset the readout to zero...but it is still registering the weight of the container because it is still carrying the weight of the container. In other words, if you need a scale that will handle more than 15 lbs including the container, go ahead and buy one that will handle more weight.

You press the button and it goes to zero. If you are using another container other than the bowl that comes with it, after setting the container on the scale you press the button to zero and then the only thing weighed is the contents.
